[edit] Episode Summary
After Jaden is evacuated by Aster, Zane, and Syrus, they spot Crowler and Echo being attacked by monsters. The monsters are easily dispatched by Aster and Zane and Echo and Crowler join the group. Seeing that Echo dropped her locket, Aster returns it to her and confronts her about her feelings towards Adrian. Meanwhile, Adrian is seen at a door which seals Exodia and intends to free it for his own use. Adrian then transports Jaden and the others to the gate. He and Echo reunite, with Adrian treating her cruelly. Enraged by Adrian's actions, Aster decides to duel him. Over the course of the duel, Aster recognizes Adrian's hand-replenishing techniques as a strategy to summon Exodia and blocks with the Magic card, Force of Four. With his initial strategy thwarted, Adrian activates the Magic card, The Ultimate Ritual of the Forbidden Lord, using Echo as a sacrifice in order to use it.
[edit] Trivia
In the dub version of this episode, when Adrian approaches the chamber where Exodia was sealed in at the start of the episode, the five Exodia pieces shown in his hand are the Japanese versions of the pieces. Apparently 4Kids forgot to change the Exodia pieces into the dub version of the pieces. Also as in GX 127, the Exodia parts have their Japanese artwork instead of the edited American art.
[edit] Featured Duels
[edit] Major Events
- Presumed gone forever, Adrian returns with an agenda.
- The debut of Adrian's new Exodia Deck.
- The first and only automatic win declared with Exodios the Ultimate Forbidden Lord.
[edit] Adrian's Turn
- Summons Vortex Trooper (0/600) in Defense Position and activates its effect, which lets him shuffle 2 cards from his hand into his Deck and draw 2 new cards
[edit] Aster's Turn
- Summons Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude (1400/1600)
- Activates Diamond Dude's effect, checking the top card on his Deck. If it's a Normal Spell Card, he can show it to his opponent and activate it on his next turn from the Graveyard; if not, the card goes to the bottom of his Deck. The top card is Destiny Draw, so Aster shows it to Adrian and sends it to the Graveyard.
- Attacks with his Diamond Dude and destroys Vortex Trooper, whose effect lets Adrian draw 1 more card
- Sets two cards
[edit] Adrian's Turn
- Summons Deep Diver (1000/1100) in Defense Position and Sets a card
[edit] Aster's Turn
- During his Main Phase, due to his Diamond Dude's effect, Aster activates Destiny Draw from the Graveyard and draws 2 cards
- Activates Diamond Dude's effect again, checking the top card on his Deck. He shows Doctor-D to Adrian and sends it to the Graveyard
- Summons Destiny Hero - Dunker (1200/1700) and activates its effect. By discarding a Destiny Hero from his hand to the Graveyard, Dunker can inflict 500 points of damage to Adrian. He discards his Disk Commander, and Adrian takes 500 damage (Adrian: 3500 LP)
- Activates his Clock Tower Prison Field Spell. Usually, during each of his opponent's Standby Phases, it would gain a Clock Counter with each passing turn. Then, if 4 or more Counters are on his Field Spell, all damage to Aster will be negated.
- However, Aster instead activates his two face-down Eternal Dread Traps. Each one adds 2 Clock Counters to his Clock Tower Prison Field Spell, and with 2 of the same card activated, 4 Counters can be added
- Activates Mystical Space Typhoon and destroys his own Clock Tower Prison
- With 4 Clock Counters on Clock Tower Prison when it was destroyed, Aster can Special Summon his Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster (?/?).
- With this monster summoned due to the destruction of his Clock Tower Prison Field Spell, Aster must destroy all non-Destiny Heroes he controls (which is moot, since he controls only Destiny Heroes on the field) and can summon up to 2 Destiny Heroes from his Graveyard, but with only 1 Destiny Hero in his Graveyard, Disk Commander (300/300) is re-summoned to the Field. With Disk Commander summoned from the Graveyard, Aster can draw 2 cards from his Deck.
- Meanwhile, Dreadmaster's original ATK and DEF both become equal to the total ATK of all Destiny Heroes that Aster controls (2900/2900). Also, for the turn Dreadmaster was Special Summoned, Destiny Heroes are not destroyed, and Aster takes no damage when and if they battle.
- Dunker attacks and destroys Deep Diver
- Disk Commander and Diamond Dude attack Adrian directly (Adrian: 3200, then 1800 LP)
- When Dreadmaster attacks Adrian, he activates his face-down "Dimensional Prison". Even though Dreadmaster's effect prevents him from being destroyed, he can still be Removed from Play, which is "Dimensional Prison's" effect.
- Deep Diver's effect activates at the end of the Battle Phase, allowing Adrian to select a card from his Deck and place it on top.
- Activates Force of Four, limiting both player's hands to four cards each. Since Adrian is holding 5 cards, he must discard 1 of his cards to the Graveyard
[edit] Adrian's Turn
- Discards Exodia the Forbidden One due to Force of Four, but declares he has a backup strategy, and activates his Ultimate Ritual of the Forbidden Lord Spell from his Graveyard. On this note, Echo steps toward Adrian, agreeing to offer her life force, in exchange for Adrian's victory.
